There's something strange, a sudden change
Around, all across the sky;
A change of scene as The Machine
Goes wild, and no one knows why

Everyone will say it's a great display
And we brought it for you
Cynthia and Lance set off Nukes From France™
Now you know what to do:

WE'RE KICKING OFF A ROUTE FOURTH WALL
BRING EVERY JOURNAL, ONE AND ALL
HAVE A PARTY, BREAK DOWN ALL THE WALLS
'Cause it's our game's anni-ver-er-sa-ry
And we're, so ha-a-a-ppy!

[No, she-- what. What is happening here.

He doesn't have an eyepatch. She edges around to his side to confirm that yes, he doesn't have an eyepatch. And his face is exactly as she remembers Kuzuryuu's from before arriving here.]

Young Master Fuyuhiko?

[she tries louder, looking to the Dratini, then back to him. H e l p . . .]

[ragestick]

[No, no they do not deceive you, Nanami. This is actually happening right now. Somehow. Alternate universe shenanigans are clearly afoot.]

Since when do you know Final Fantasy, Nanami? Hang on, I'm on a roll here...

[He's apparently does recognize her voice at least, but apparently it's not enough to get him to look away from the screen. Or stop playing...]

[lullabytes]

Isn't that my line...? After all, I'm the Super High School Level Gamer.

[ And she doesn't seem inclined to stop talking...

But then, she can play while holding conversations so clearly everyone else should be able to do so as well!! ]

[tearsofademon]

[Rose nods immediately.]

That happens all the time. My dear parnter cant usually use his magic here.

[ragestick]

[Bahamut gives Peko a look that is almost certainly meant to be "I'm so sorry friend." Good luck getting him away from this stupid thing, he's been trying to do that for several hours now and nothing doing. HE'D HELP IF HE COULD.]

Haha...what? Young Master? What are you playing at, Pekoyama?

[He's...still not looking up from the screen. Incredible.]

[ragestick]

[He actually laughs at that.]

Now who's stealing whose lines!? If that's supposed to be a joke, it's not very funny...

[Kuzuryuu...you would solve so much if you would just look up. You really, really would.]

[lullabytes]

If you don't believe me, how about a match?

[ LET'S GO, GAMER BOY.

oh look

even alternate universe kuzuryuu can make her cheeks poof ]

[thermals]

[Tobias seems to relax so much that he sags a bit, moving from crouching in front of the Clefairy to actually sitting on the ground.]

That's a relief...

[The Starly seems pleasantly surprised at this development. Wow, you unbroke her trainer.]

[prefersevilgenius]

Little experiment girl! Jumba has been trying to purchase passage to Kalos to surprise evil genius friend! Did mysterious phenomenon bring little girl here too?

[prefersevilgenius]

Jumba has no idea! [Do you want a hug, Jimmy? Because you're gonna get an evil genius hug.]

[ragestick]

[Are we really surprised by the cheek poofing though? Kuzuryuu is still Kuzuryuu. Nanami is still Nanami. No matter the universe.]

Yeah, okay sure, let me finish this round up. Aren't you taking this joke a little far though? You told me yourself you'd be more interested in building consoles than playing with them.

[He just doesn't understand what she's trying to accomplish here. Because, again, he can't be fucked to look up from the screen and realize that he is not talking to the Nanami he thinks he is.]

[lullabytes]

I have no idea how to build a console...and that sounds far less fun than playing them. You want Souda-kun for that.

[ WHICH YOU WOULD KNOW...

if you weren't clearly a weird alien kuzuryuu

who apparently actually has game, which is why she is still talking to him ]

bzz

[shinobee]

[None of his pokemon are actually familiar with Ino! Her unexpected outcry just about startles his Galvantula scuttling backwards, and the walking prehistoric nightmare that is Kabutops looks mildly affronted on Shino's behalf.]

That is Kabuto. [He supplies, entirely unhelpfully.]

[As its trainer didn't seem to deem the girl a threat, the electric tarantula crawls out from behind him to hang off his shoulder to say hello too.] Kumo.

[hi ino you see he's been busy]

[shinobee]

Very well. As long as we have come to a mutual understanding. [Shino tosses his own pokeball forth. With a burst of light, Forretress Kikko enters the fray! The heavy steel wrecking ball of a bug pokemon stands between him and his fishy opponent. Kikko's big mysterious eyes stare at the floundering Magikarp from inside its shell, before proceeding to roll backwards towards its trainer.

... Is that a Magikarp? On dry land? Is it going to die like that? How is it supposed to fight that?

Sensing his pokemon's confusion, Shino only shakes his head. He did just say he wouldn't let up. It would be unfair to Lee to do anything but.]

[suncrushed]

[A Sunkern that happened to be treading behind Juniper stops at her heels, peeking behind her legs at the unfamiliar face as well as its Pokémon. Juniper, on the other hand, shakes her head, looking a bit uncertain.]

Ah, I...don't know if this is Japan or not.

[There's a high chance it might be if they held similarity to the maps the other was referring to. She doesn't know, though.]

Though, I can tell you for certain that this...isn't your world...

[sonpan]

[Vanillite may look hungry, but Pan thinks it doesn't look too keen to approach the proffered icecream at first either. The lil cone is probably afraid of them still!]

We don't bite, little guy. Unless you don't like that flavour? [that must be it.] Here, everyone likes chocolate! [She scoops out a chunk of icecream from her tub instead and just... gently plops it on top of its snowy curlicue head.]

[capitald]

[One could say that Ringabel has a built-in radar for women, but truth be told, he's been far more concerned with locating his traveling companions than trying to woo the local ladies. After all, this world is strange, unmentioned in his journal and full of oddities... like the ledges, not to mention the wildlife. Certainly not the place for a vestal to travel alone.

By this point, he's already gotten a vague idea of the situation. Enough to ease some of his underlying worries regarding the Grandship and his friends. Nonetheless, when he spots Agnès, he heaves a sigh of relief. That makes two now...]

Ah, Agnès! I was starting to wonder where you'd run off to.

[He greets her with a smile, shooting a brief glance to that peculiar fairy. Another strange monster, perhaps? He'll have to make note of this in his journal later.]

[jellyjar]

[Envy's not going down without a fight. When the Murkrow swoops, it turns and tries to jump and bite down on one of the bird's toes as hard as it can.]

[tearsofademon]

Did you lose your magic too?

[capitald]

[... Well. That's... not quite what he had hoped for. In that moment, Ringabel's fantasy shatters into a million pieces.

But! On the positive side, this is still quite interesting.]

Ah, I've actually dabbled with the Summoner's asterisk before. Still, when you say evolve, what exactly do you mean? Last I recall, summons don't change, and in order to acquire new ones, you must first survive a Magician's trial.

[Granted, this isn't Luxendarc, so perhaps the rules are different. Seeing how people use pets for combat, perhaps he should disregard what he already knows.]

[thermals]

Something like that, yeah. At least I hope so..

[tearsofademon]

Itll be okay!

[thermals]

I hope you're right. ..I just need to figure out how to get out of here.

[tearsofademon]

Theres a town pretty close if you take that road.

[probably, fourth wall physics and all]

[thermals]

[Tobias nods, rising to his feet.]

Alright. Thank you for helping me....uuuh....

[Pink....thing?]
